I never shot BM3 yet. But as for 70 grains and anything ... will kill deer out to 100 yards if you can place your shot. You put that big conical into the works of a deer and it will put them down.

Paul,
As far as getting the different weight bullets to shoot to the same point of impact - Absolutely you can. If you look at my post from last month where I chronographed all those different loads - all of the different loads hit within a 2" group (and I wasn't concentrating on accuracy at all). I had worked all those loads up in the past to hit the approximate same POI without the benefit of a chrony. I always had a working theory that all those loads (especially the sabots) were travelling within 100fps of each other........and the chrony proved my hypothesis correct.
So basically, at least in my gun - and I imagine in MOST inlines at least, if your different loads are running close to the same muzzle velocity, you will get a near identical POI at LEAST out to 75yds - depending on the ballistics of each individual bullet.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Thanks Mark. Right now the Omega is sighted in at 2" high at 50 yards, but that is with the 295 AT powerbelts. The 460's are about 165 grains heavier and should put me on the paper using 75-85 grains of BM3. I'll start with 75 as supposedly the BM has more velocity. (so I'm told) Once sighted in at 50 I'll start increasing the powder until the bullets open up or my shoulder cannot take it. I won't go higher than 90 grains of powder.
So starting at 70 grains should give me a good place to sight in my No Excuse. Once that is done I'll clean up the rifle real good and start shooting the 300 grain sabots from HM boolets. Working the powder up until the POI is the same at 50 yards should be good out to 100. Thats my theory and hopefully I'll stick to it. I'll post my results on Saturday evening or Sunday.
